Hell, FALSEscience is a subforum; so why not lie to ourselves and create a subforum dedicated to SPORTSScience? I bet a lot of the venom from the Politics subforum shall permeate the new subforum. Plus damnnit, Sports is a science. :D

Alas, I have little to no respect for sport-like activities.

I could give you many reasons why i find prosessional sports to be a waste of time and money. Too bad they contribute significantly to the economy.

Yeah, sports rule in many ways!

Not only is it a great ambassador for its countries, but it's fun to watch and/or play. :)

Why? Because they are a haven for meatheads.

Me a jock?...no way. I lack the pain threshold and the athletic skills.

LMAO. I have to disagree mate. They are more meatheads ranging this forum that you would know. Plus why should negative experiences with 'jocks' factor into a decision that should be purely objective.

Also I take offense to your position on atheletes--being one myself. Don't forget Porf, high school was a LOOOOOOOONG time ago-- I think.

Agreed exactly. We don't need jocks in here.

So WE&P doesn't attract meatheads? All the other forums are filled with competely rational people? There's a forum to proven FALSE science, and there's nothing for sports? It is your decision whether you want to put in a sports subforum, but I for one would love it if you did.
Zero, could you please remove your head from Porfiry's ass?

Urgh. All this talk about jocks.

I'm not complaining about a subforum for sports be or not to be, in fact I'm very satisfied with the way this place is run compared to other forums. But remember that sport is more than a couple of guys kicking a ball or tacking eachother senseless. It's practice, eating right, sleeping right, recovering from injuries, etc. It's all about dedication and pushing yourself further. Every athlete has invested thousands of hours practicing to be where he is today. I believe there's respect in that.

But a forum here isn't necessary, especially not one that's crowded with people who love politics, religion and science. ;)

Here's a few links to serious communities to discuss sports.

Jocks aren't a race.

And a nice me too to Zero and Porfiry. I hate jocks.

I think there's a bit of a language thing here. I think Red Devil was referring to "Jocks" as meaning the Scottish, and I think xev was referring to "Jocks" as meaning sporty type men.

Yes indeed Wraith - here in the UK a "jock" is a person from Scotland!

Oh. Do you have the word "meathead"? It's more or less the same - a stupid, sporty type person.

the only good thing about them is just that: They have meat, so if you're hungry you can eat them for a longer period of time.

Geez. "get a life":rolleyes: Couldn't get the high school quarterback to fuck you? Or no invites to parties? LMAO

What is with all these self-exalted psuedo- intelligent wankers who lack the ability to think for themselves, and yet spew vitriol nonsense telling people what to think?

Child, the high school quarterback would have fucked a slab of liver if you smeared lipstick on it and told him it was female.

Well now this is a complete non-sequiter.
How do I lack the ability to think for myself?
What vitriol am I spewing?
Where do I tell anyone what to think?
Why did you go off your medication cold turkey?

LMAO. Where is the non-sequitur? There is no logical fallacy...nothing follows that should not. Anyway, cut your jock/athelete bashing.

I'm not using it in that sense. If you were even slightly more intelligent than a lobotomized mouse, you'd realize this.
Since you aren't, I'll make it clear:

I neither spew vitriol, nor lack an ability to think for myself, nor am bitter about not being fucked by the "high school quarterback" (indeed, I've never even met one), nor have I told anyone what to think.

Your head is so far up your ass that you're fellating your spleen. I'd suggest you remove it.

Anyway, cut your jock/athelete bashing.

Lame.
And since when did you have the prerogative to tell me or anyone else what to do?
Nor, indeed, do I bash "atheletes" (I'll presume you meant "athlete"? Rather telling that you cannot spell.). Being a rather fanatical hockey fan, I'm unlikely to do so.

No. The above is lame. When u mispelled, I ignored and 'presumed'. So why the fuck are you bringing it up? I donot and will not check my spelling; it is irrelevant as I donot make too many to be of consequence.

As for your usage of non-sequitur, LMAO. As you wish milady, as you wish.

"slightly more intelligent than a lobotomized mouse"---I like this phrase, I shall borrow it.

And since when did you have the prerogative to tell me or anyone else what to do?
I hope after re-reading the above, you realize how illogical it is.

And no lady, this is not the first instance when you have made unwarranted comments about ATHLETES. I never ever respond in this fashion without at least 3 previous instances of like behaviour.

I have nothing against sports but a sports subforum? Thats ridiculous, why don't we go all out and have a "building stuff with wood" subforum:rolleyes:

I still think history and natural history forums would be sweet and are what seems to be missing.

Why thank you. It's always nice when unorigional idiots admit that they're unorigional idiots.
Albeit "in so many words".

*Laughs*
Whoah! You actually tabulate my posts to see what group I am making "unwarrented comments" about?
I can just see you with an Excel spreadsheet, marking off users whenever they make "unwarrented comments" about a group.
That's fucking hilarious. Now I feel bad about teasing you - you're obviously taking it to heart. I think I should be nice and just let you froth at the mouth over the comments of some other poster.
